Autobiograpy of Red-Anne Carson (149 pages)

So, this is like only one of the most important books of poetry I've ever read. Jeez louise. Carson takes the story of Hercules and Geryon and turns it into this poetry-novel about Geryon, his life and challenges. So. Amazingly. Beautiful. Every single image she creates rings so true and is so original it breaks my heart. Read this. Even if you're not a poet. For realsies.
